Before achieving statehood, several territories in the United States were recognized as republics. Notably, Texas was an independent republic from 1836 until it joined the Union in 1845. Additionally, California briefly declared itself a republic in 1846 during the Bear Flag Revolt before becoming a state in 1850. However, Texas is the most prominent example of a territory that functioned as a republic before statehood.
